Exercise habits and knee recovery after ACL surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how your exercise habits before surgery might affect your knee function and the chance of re-injury after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It aims to help doctors give better advice on post-surgery rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and are scheduled for reconstruction surgery.
- You do not have other serious knee problems, like arthritis.
- You have not had any other surgery on your knee before.
- You are able to commit to a postoperative rehabilitation program and attend follow-up visits.

This study looks at whether doing physical therapy before surgery can improve tendon healing, bone density, and joint cushioning after ACL surgery or patellar dislocation surgery. It may help you recover better and faster by optimizing your knee before the operation.
This study is checking how people are doing after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (a surgery to repair a knee ligament). It may help researchers understand recovery and long-term outcomes after ACL surgery.
This trial tests whether special balance and movement exercises (proprioceptive exercises) help people recover better after ACL knee surgery. You would start these exercises during the second week of your rehab program.
This study is looking at how well the ACL heals after surgery in the long term. It helps researchers understand recovery patterns, so you may get a closer look at your knee's healing process.
This study tests an “optimized” rehabilitation plan after ACL reconstruction to help people safely return to competitive sports. It’s for people who had an ACL surgery and still want to play sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or contact.
This trial studies whether starting walking exercises earlier after ACL reconstruction can help protect the knee cartilage from wearing down. It may be a good fit if you are having your first ACL surgery at Peking University Third Hospital and your knee has already healed from the initial injury.
